Community Outreach

Empowering LGBTQ+ Youth

Through Music

The PGMC’s youth outreach & engagement program is central to the chorus’ mission. In 2014, the Philadelphia Gay Men’s Chorus partnered with community organizations to perform outreach concerts in local schools, fostering understanding and personal growth in our teenage audiences.


Since then, we have reached over 13,000 students at dozens of local high schools and universities. We continue to support the LGBTQ+ community and empower young people by providing them with an opportunity to enter into a safe and affirming environment free from the threat of harm regardless of how they self-identify.

Making an Impact



We have reached over 13,725 students with our message of acceptance and hope since 2014.


We have comped over 2,175 free tickets for shows and performed at 46 local high school & colleges.


Your support ensures continued…


Opportunities for young people to celebrate diversity through music.


Exposure to Role Models of proud, happy, successful LGBTQ+ adults.


LGBTQ+ Visibility in public space and civic events.


Support our Outreach Program

A portion of all the money earned through our fundraising efforts supports our outreach program, including outreach concerts, complimentary concert tickets for local youth, and smaller workshops and events that bring our members and LGBTQ+ youth and allies together.

PGMC has been acknowledged for their outreach efforts, and was awarded the Delaware Valley Legacy Fund’s Non-Profit Hero Award in 2017.
